Mentors play an instrumental role in the Pacific Greenpreneurs programs: they provide a listening ear, advice and ask challenging questions to help participants refine their business ideas and plans; they challenge and support; listen and guide. Structured mentoring can help start-ups navigate the various challenges they face in getting started and growing their businesses. Getting this advice from an established business owner or manager, who knows the Pacific business context, is transformational in putting theoretical learning into practice.

Recognizing the amazing power of a network, GGGI seeks to develop relationships with dynamic, experienced local business persons in the private sector, as well as knowledgeable persons within the public sector who are willing to share their time and experiences as mentors.

Participants in this program are passionate about helping Green Entrepreneurs realize their entrepreneurial potential by facilitating access to technical, financial and social assistance geared towards the development of viable business thereby contributing to the growth and development of the national economy!
